Shared app settings

Article number: 0401067

The "Shared app settings" feature allows Kintone administrators to manage settings that are applied to all apps.

Settings for each app are configured by app administrators. However, to prevent high-risk settings from affecting all of Kintone, Kintone administrators can restrict certain settings.

Steps

  1. Click the Settings icon (the gear-shaped icon) at the top of Kintone, then click Kintone administration.

  2. On the Kintone administration screen, click Shared app settings.

  3. On the Shared app settings screen, configure the settings as needed.
    For details on the settings, refer to the following section.
    Prohibit granting the "Manage app" permission to the "Everyone" group on the "Permissions for app" screen

  4. Click Save.

Option that can be managed in "Shared app settings"

Prohibit granting the "Manage app" permission to the "Everyone" group on the "Permissions for app" screen

Kintone administrators can prohibit app administrators from granting the "Manage app" permission to the Everyone group.

This section describes the impact when Kintone administrators prohibit granting the "Manage app" permission to the Everyone group.
When this option is enabled, the restriction affects not only new apps but also existing apps that already have the "Manage app" permission granted to the Everyone group.

Impacts on app administrators:

If the Everyone group is granted the "Manage app" permission on the Permissions for app screen, an error will occur and the following actions cannot be performed:

  • Saving the permission settings
  • Updating or activating the app

Impacts on the "View" screen:

When users with the "Manage app" permission perform the following actions on the View screen, an error will occur and the actions cannot be performed:

  • Saving a filter
  • Saving a graph

Impacts when using the REST API:

If the following REST APIs are executed to grant the "Manage app" permission to the Everyone group, the request will fail with an error.
